</p><p>Those prefs have been a part of my standard user.js file for the last 8 or 9 years now. Just copy that file into a new Profile and all my "config" prefs are set "at one fell swoop".

<p>IMO, rather than asking developers to change the manner in which something is done, the user needs to <strong>learn</strong> the program more fully when they deviate from the standard setting in a program.

</p><p>"<em>Make a button called "Updates" and add it next to the home button up at the top. Allow this button to somehow not only Manually check for updates to Firefox, but to also check for updates to Extensions and add-on. Then tell us, Yes everything is up to date or These things could be updated, and these things could be added to improve your browsers performance.Doing this would be very helpful! Hope a developer is able to do this and soon!</em>"
</p><p>i agree and i like your idea, but note that, definitely a developer can do this without problem, except if he/she can't do that for some other reason who has no relation with him/her, but for the product(firefox) in general, like specifications, prohibitions etc !!!
</p><p>but....you can file a bug about that : <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/" rel="nofollow">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/</a>
</p><p>again i like your idea and i'll vote the bug also.
</p><p>thank you
